Hidden Disk - Protect Your Files With This Free Software
To protect your files, install Hidden Disk on your PC. This freeware disk encryption utility can hide files on your PC and also create a password-protected virtual disk. Using a simple desktop shortcut, Hidden Disk can be easily launched without requiring any complex settings. Simply select the drive letter you want to protect, and click the "Create" button to create a hidden disk on your hard drive. You can choose to make the disk invisible or visible, and it's 100 percent compatible with other programs and applications.
You can store any file or folder on a hidden disk, unless you need to use the entire hard drive. The size of the disk is only limited by the available free space on your hard drive. Hidden Disk supports all operating systems and programs running on your computer. You will need a password to unlock the virtual disk, so you'll want to create a new password for it. To protect the files, set the password when you install Hidden Disk.
Creating a password-protected hidden partition is simple. You simply double-click on the partition icon in Windows File Explorer and click "Open disk" when prompted. You can also access the hidden disk by pressing a certain key combination. While the free version of Hidden Disk does not provide hardware acceleration, the Pro version does. This feature greatly speeds up file operations. If you need to access a file in a hidden partition, you should try the Pro version.
